MODFLOW-2005 model used to evaluate the potential effects of sea-level rise on the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system in the vicinity of Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, New Jersey
A three-dimensional groundwater flow model, MODFLOW-2005 with the SWI2 module, was developed to
provide a better understanding of the geohydrology of the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system in the vicinity
of Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, New Jersey. The model was used to evaluate the potential
effects of three sea-level rise scenarios on the aquifer system. The model was calibrated to average 2005-15
hydrologic conditions. The model also simulated the movement of the freshwater-seawater interface for three
sea-level rise scenarios.This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations
described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175135).
